This review is from: BSA 30mm Red Dot Scope with 5 MOA (Sports)
For a $30 dollar scope you cannot go wrong. I zeroed it in with 6 shots at 25 yards. At this distance the red dot will completely cover up a 1 3/4" square. This is because of the 5 MOA rating. If you need more precision, go to a lower MOA and a higher price. Also keep in mind that this scope does not magnify. After zeroing the scope I set up 16 bottles on a log at 25 yards and blasted every one of them without missing one shot. It is a cool looking set up on my Hi-Point 995TS 9mm carbine.

These red dot sights are great, mostly because they are very quick and you will not miss due to parallax errors. Once you zero, at that range the bullet goes where the dot is. That makes it a very fast shooting system once you are set up. It seems to be very rugged and the adjustments are just like any other standard optic. It is easy to set and easy to use.
The only problem I ran into is the battery life being very short. In the daytime, you have to use the highest settings to see the dot. If you leave the rheostat on the battery will drain with a quickness. I don't like having to turn it off and on and off and on between shots, but if I don't I won't get much use out of it. And the batteries are kind of expensive for this. That is my only real concern or caution to anyone looking to purchase one of...Read more
